The Humanities cluster occupies a special position thanks to its cross-disciplinary approach to engineering training. It also stands out for its technological research in the humanities and social sciences, carried out within the cross-disciplinary FEMTO-ST/RECITS axis.
Throughout the curriculum, the humanities contribute to training engineers with humanist values, open to the world, attentive to people and the environment, capable of giving meaning to technology while maintaining a high level of professionalism and being perfectly at ease in the business world. UTBM graduates are engineers who are philosophers and technologists, combining engineering and humanities knowledge of technology.
The Humanities cluster offers a significant opening onto the humanities and social sciences, accounting for 25% of the courses taught over the five years of engineering training.
On the strength of a collectively-developed strategy, the Humanities cluster aims to meet a number of challenges through its teaching, research and dissemination of knowledge.
